Almost 2 years out



Recommended Posts

I am almost two years out( July) I can not loose anymore weight. I went from 273 to 188 and now back to 199. I need help. I am getting married in July and want to look amazing. I am only 26 and this is starting to depress me. Hence the weight gain from depression meds.

I am 8 months out and just did a check up of what I was actually eating. I noticed my carbs were a little high and my Protein could be upped. I would suggest track and measure your food intake for a few days to see if you have any weak spots, and adjust as needed. I would also look at your activity and make some changes there to shake your body up. Lastly check your Fluid intake as this too can play a part. I joined weight watchers to help me stay accountable and supported. Hope it works for you. It does for me. And congrats on your upcoming wedding!

Back to basics....

Are you tracking what you are consuming? I use myfitnesspal and if I didn't, I'd easily fall off of the band wagon.

Are you getting your Protein in first?

Are you getting in your Water?

Are you working out? My WLS group class, the dr. that leads it, says the latest research shows you have to do 60-90 minutes of pure cardio a day to lose and or maintain your weight loss. It doesn't have to be all at one time, but the overall point is be active, active active.

If you add these few things back into your daily life, I think it will push you to losing again. And activity helps with depression.

Best of luck - and congrats on your pending nuptials!

A friend at work had Sleeve and has lost almost no weight after the first few months. She struggled with getting Protein in right from the start. Her diet has consisted mostly of carbs with some protein. She is a busy mom and professional so exercise is not happening at all. I'm hoping she gets things turned around. I have lost 54 pounds in 6 weeks and never felt better. But I love the Protein Drinks and work out with my sons. Different place for sure. Hope you get rolling and congrats on the marriage.

I second that. We have all invested so much in the change we are making in our lives. We can give up. Good luck we are all behind you and all those struggling.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
